Nutrition Labz Recovery RX

Nutrition Labz Recovery RX is a post workout supplement, described as Advanced Recovery Super Fuel. According to the product information, it helps the absorption of amino acids by the use of peptide technology. We take a look at Recovery RX to see if we can find out more about this supplement.

Recovery RX comes from Nutrition Labz, a US based supplements company that sells exclusively online via the official website and advertises via social media, such as Facebook and Instagram. Most Nutrition Labz supplements, including this one, are quite specialised and aimed at the bodybuilding market. It seems likely that this supplement was manufactured in Asia.

Nutrition Labz Recovery RX Cons

What You Need To Know About Nutrition Labz Recovery RX

Nutritional Labz Recovery RX is a very experimental looking supplement, that is touted as a post workout recovery aid that you drink. It contains peptides which are probably more easily absorbed by the body as claimed and may be of some benefit, but the downside is that side effects could be an issue both with the peptides and some of the other ingredients. In addition, we have concerns that this supplement has probably been manufactured in Asia so may not comply with USA health and safety standards. Recovery RX is very badly explained by Nutrition Labz, and is only on sale via the official website.

How Much Does Nutrition Labz Recovery RX Cost?

Nutrition Labz Recovery RX is expensive. Size of the tub is not disclosed but contains 30 servings.

Recovery RX is only available direct from the official Nutrition Labz website, where it costs $49.99.

You can also pay in other currencies which are provided on the site (at the basic conversion rate), so the company are happy to ship abroad. Shipping costs are not provided.

You choose you flavour at the point of sale. Flavours are; Fruit Punch, Watermelon, Green Apple, Strawberry Lime, or Grape.

Our Verdict On Nutrition Labz Recovery RX

In our opinion, Recovery RX is one to be avoided. This supplement contains only sketchy ingredients information and is highly likely to cause side effects. The ingredients profile is incomplete and with many of the components very much in the early stages of research, there is no saying what this supplement will do. Added concerns are that it appears to be manufactured overseas, so probably does not conform to US manufacturing standards.

Recovery RX is not a popular looking supplement. Despite trawling through bodybuilding forums and gyms, we have been unable to find one person who has even taken it, let alone written a customer review.

Finally, with no guarantee or any real information about it, we do not recommend Nutrition Labz Recovery RX to our readers.

In our opinion, Nutrition Labz has hit a brand new low with Recovery RX, and we certainly do not recommend anybody to waste any time or money on this dodgy looking supplement.

Nutrition Labz Recovery RX Facts

Label reads Pura Nutrition Labz which appears to be the same company as Nutritional Labz

Registered address is a supplements shop in San Antonio Texas

Contains unknown ingredients such as Gafactor Immunities

According to the product advertising, the supplement is based on peptide technology.

Peptides are chains of amino acids which combine to form proteins in the body. Peptides and proteins are similar in structure because they are both made up from chains of amino acids (the building blocks of protein), and held together by an amide or peptide bond as it is also known. Both proteins and peptides are the basic components of the body cells.

The main difference between peptides and proteins is that peptides are much smaller. Proteins are generally composed of 50 or more amino acids, whereas peptides are molecules which are made up from between 2 to 5 amino acids.

Peptides play numerous roles in the body. They can act like neurotransmitters in the brain or like hormones, and some peptides control the body’s reaction to diet and exercise.

When it comes to supplements, because peptides are smaller and more stable in the body than amino acids, they may be more effective in this form. Peptides are more easily absorbed by the body and some people have described peptides as pre digested proteins.

How to Take Nutrition Labz Recovery RX

Take 1 scoop mixed with 16 oz of water immediately before and after training

In addition, Recovery RX contains ATP, or Adenosine triphosphate. This is the body’s main energy source, and is present in the molecules that make up the cells. Your body manufactures ATP to keep up with the demands upon energy, but it can also be taken in supplement form as here.

Nutrition Labz Recovery RX Concerns:

Despite being named as a supplement for recovery, you are advised to also take it before a workout

No customer feedback and nobody is talking about this supplement. Has anybody ever even tried it?

Nutrition Labz do not comes with much background information, although the company has been around since 2014. Originally based in San Antonio Texas at a fitness centre 1707 Fredericksburg Rd; San Antonio, Texas 78201, these days the company advertises mainly on social media such as Facebook and Instagram.

According to the product label, Recovery RX comes from a company called Pura Labs Nutrition (PLN), which is based at the old Nutrition Labz address in San Antonio. We don’t know why the company have used this name on the label rather than Nutrition Labz, because this supplement is obviously not manufactured at this address and the two names are obviously the same company.

Sticking our necks out here, it seems highly likely that this supplement has been manufactured in Asia and simply relabelled. It has not been made in the USA, and with many of the ingredients manufactured in Singapore, we think that this is the most likely origin of Recovery RX.

What Does Nutrition Labz Recovery RX Claim To Do?

According to the product advertising, there are three key features to this supplement.

Fast Recovery & Repair

Lean Gains

Immune Boost

“Recovery RX Is a revolutionary Peptide technology design to improve the solubility and absorption of bio-actives including Branch chain amino acids, while the general insolubility of free forms aminos can create poor beverages experiences”

The product information continues,

“Pepform technology allows amino acids to remain soluble and stable, opening the door for more end-use applications. This technology also significantly increases the bioavailability of amino acids with better efficiency and absorption than free form aminos like Leucine.”

Does Nutrition Labz Recovery RX Work?

It might help recovery as claimed but it all seems a little experimental, and of course we do not know the full ingredients profile and the individual ingredients quantities.

Let’s look at the facts. Evidence suggests that peptide supplementation may be more effective than taking amino acid supplements, as peptides are more easily absorbed by the body. So if you were considering taking a BCAA and Glutamine supplement, you may find that this one which is based on peptides may work better. It may help your body recover faster and build muscle as claimed. That said, without knowing quantities nobody can really say for sure. In addition, Glutamine peptides are known for causing side effects.

ATP has been taken in supplement form and according to some very limited clinical testing carried out by the University of Tampa, it seems to help widen the arteries and increase blood flow, and so improve stamina and endurance. However, it does not seem to increase the ATP in the body as previously believed based on testing on rats.

According to the clinical test on humans, the optimum serving size is 400mg a serving to be taken 30 minutes before exercise. This is good, but so it does not really fit in with using this ingredient as a post workout supplement for recovery.

In addition Recovery RX contains a couple of other unusual in the form of AC11 a branded supplement that seems to come with a lot of claims such as it is a help to anti aging, skin and brain power but we can’t find out much sense or any real facts. It also contains Alpha GPC choline, most usually taken as a nootropic because it may help improve mood and mental functioning.

In our opinion, there are far too many unknown factors about this supplement to say whether it will work or not, or if it is even safe.

What Are The Ingredients of Nutrition Labz Recovery RX?

Serving size is equal to 1 x 12.5g scoop. Quantities of the individual ingredients are not disclosed.

Recovery RX Blend

PepForm BCCA Peptides: Recovery RX contains a branded peptide formulation called PepForm which is made by a company called Glanbia Nutritionals. According to Glanbia PepForm is a “revolutionary, patent-pending peptide carrier technology improves the solubility and absorption of amino acids.” This formulation is based on Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) so should deliver the benefits of BCAA with greater absorption. Glanbia is a Singapore based company that provides supplements and health products only to the supplements industry. Source

PepForm Glutamine Peptides: According to Glanbia nutritionals, Singapore pte ltd offers a wide variety of products which includes Pepform® glutamine peptides. It supports exercise recovery, cellular energy, and healthy immune function. It also maintains normal gastrointestinal function. That is if it does not make you ill! Source

Bio Active Peptide PRPs: This appears to be more of the same i.e. peptides, but there is no further information although it is probably derived from milk based sources.

Gafactor Immunities: We have no idea! It could be a dodgy translation. It could be something so experimental that nobody is even writing about it yet.

Taurine: Once touted as an energy enhancing amino acid (it is an ingredient in Red Bull), but there is no real evidence that it will work as described. According to some sources, Taurine shows up in many supplements because it is probably one of the cheapest amino acids to produce.

ATP: Adenosine triphosphate is made in the body and is the source of energy. It was believed that taking it in supplement form would increase ATP levels, but this does not seem to be the case in human testing. However, it can be effective as a pre workout supplement because it can increase vasodilatation, and so improve stamina. We can’t see the point of taking this after your exercise has finished.

AC 11: Strange and fairly unknown cellular ingredient, derived from a rainforest plant called Uncaria tomentosa. It is supposed to help repair DNA and boost immunity, but there is very little information available about it. Source

Alpha GPC Choline: L-Alpha Glycerol Phosphoryl Choline is a natural choline compound that is already present in the brain, but some research has shown that taking supplements can improve cognitive disorders such as strokes and Alzheimer’s disease. Source
